These are signs that a very important event is drawing close.
How many of us could have put up with being an apostle of Christ in the first century?
& calling a person names is going to help? why do that? to what end? to what purpose?
Did you know yesterday was the Feast of St. Thomas More? (1478-1535) Do you know why he was beheaded? Because he stood by his principles and died for it -EVEN tho’ it took AGES for him to be declared a saint in the catholic church.
I have respect for people like this (not so much the catholic church tho) but you know, in the end , Thomas More lived his truth and belief and ultimately paid the price.
We are all living in tumultuous times and a brief farewell to the message board from a member here is certainly trollish to say the least. Your negative comment doesn’t add anything to the equation of what this individual is going through and that’s the shame here @ Free Republic.
I see clearly myself that it is over for the US,too, even tho my loved ones don’t & that’s hardest part;because I love my family and I want them to see this,too;but they can’t.
Maybe when this individual posted “I am basically going to disconnect,discontinue following politics,and quit voting” was shorthand for the deep pain he/she is undergoing and hasn’t developed a plan yet - but to jump on someone & call them names is really not the best reflection of the over-arching purpose and function of Free Republic.
A huge border guard would have to be put in place on the bordering states if Texas ever seceded. My God, they’d be coming across from Oklahoma and Arkansas faster than they are from Mexico.
/rhet
And by the way, that huge border guard would be tasked with figuring out which one truly want to be Texans and which ones to turn back.
Before you see a mustering of state troops, recall that the same parties running DC are the same parties running the states.
The gravy train starts in DC and goes to the states. States are not going to derail that.
Enjoy your chains.
The majority of the population when our founding fathers fought to establish our great country had the same attitude.
The few endured and fought so that you could do like the people did back then, ask to be enslaved to government.
We will take it from here, then you can come out from your hiding place.
The time for despair was when Obama won reelection.
New Hope & New Change are on the horizon!
Don't take that grumpy old man seriously, lucky you aren't a blog-pimp.
-— At this point the real reason for Article V is to place clear concise limits on the Fed-Gov complex that if they Ignore it completely, this creates a situation where the states are fully justified in either banding together and sending troops to DC in order to dismantle the machine by force or they are fully justified in banding together -—
Yup.
You’ll be back Max,Mes and yous pawtnas.
****Question: If all three branches of the federal government refuse to obey the existing Constitution, why would they obey an amended Constitution?****
Exactly. Just like its not the gun its the person holding it, its not the Constitution its the people in the government.
Totally understandable. When things seem hopeless from the macro view it is best to attend to things closer to home.
The Jebster for President of Mexico.
Exactly. His interwar years certainly backed that up. If he had quit then the course of history would have been very different.
There is no hope in any human institution. Our country was strong when most of us believed the Bible and sought the counsel of the Lord. Now that the country has officially told God to get lost, the inevitable judgement will follow.
Trust in the Lord Jesus and His soon return. We are living in the days of Noah.
Later tater. It’s been a real slice.
Well....bye.

Yup.
It is 50-50 at this point if a CoS will actually work but in the end it will at least be a rally point for those who end up fighting the civil war....
No, you cannot go stick your head in the sand and squirt ostrich poop at the roaming bands of liberal marauders who will come for your stuff when things go south. They want you to do that. The easier to take it all from you.
Your ONLY hope of holding on to your life, your liberty, and most of your stuff, is to hang in there with like-minded people until the final victory (or, yes, maybe the final defeat).
“For my own sanity, I just need to tune it all out...”
Agreed.
It seems that the Constitution is just a piece of paper with some words on it that no one seems to have read.
If they ever got back to following it, there would be the greatest period of peace and prosperity ever, but leftists will continue to denigrate it and present the socialist revolution as the recipe for human utopia on earth.
I’ve had a belly full of leftist self-appointed brilliant geniuses who know all the answers.
It may be time to hunker down and get ready for the final destruction of the republic by communist punks.
IMHO
